Crazy Season: EPA Focusing on Recycling Beer Containers at NASCAR Events, Not Green Cars

Link here to Washington Examiner (warning: the link may re-direct you to a number of ads; it was a pain to get back to the story).
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, NASCAR will encourage fans to buy “sustainable concessions” at races, expand the use of “safer chemical products,” conserve water, reduce waste, promote recycling, push products approved by the EPA that have a small enviro footprint and encourage suppliers to get an “E3 tuneup” aimed at promoting sustainable manufacturing.

Missing: any talk of greening races or race cars that consume about 450,000 gallons of gas a year and average five miles per gallon.

“Yes,the focus is on suppliers and programs, not green cars,” said an EPA spokesman. 
Thank goodness for that.

 I can't make this stuff up.
